How to make pumpkin finger puppets

These super cute pumpkin finger puppets are great to make with the help of little hands. Create a whole pumpkin family by cutting out slightly different sized and shaped pumpkins and giving them each their own personality with different facial features cut from black felt.

Suitable for: Beginners

Time to allow: 30 minutes plus drying time to make one pumpkin

You'll need:

Orange, green and black felt sheets

Tacky or fabric glue

Scissors

How to make

Start by cutting two identical oval shapes (one will be the back, and the other the front), this will form the body of the pumpkin

Cut two triangles and a smiley face out of black felt, position on the front of your pumpkin and stick in place using tacky glue

Cut a stork out of the green felt, stick this to the centre top of the back piece of felt, so that it sits between the front and back pieces of orange felt

Lay the back piece of your felt on top of the table and run a line of tacky glue around the edge (make sure to leave a gap at the bottom to allow space for your fingers!)

Place the front of your puppet on top, lining the front and back up so that there are no overlapping areas
